Lacy Spring Mitts

I found your pattern through Ravelry. I'm making fingerless gloves for women re-enactors of the Civil War era, as this April is the 150th year; apparently ladies wore fingerless gloves then. Your pattern is similar enough to one in an authentic pattern book (except the cuff), that I think I'll adapt it. Love your patterns!
